Default Fuel filter change

Has anyone done this? Is it a bitch to do? If you have, anything really important other than lighting my *** on fire, that I should watch out for?

Thanks

You have to remove the fuel tank, which is a bitch.

On a "95"? Their a total bitch. but the good news is they don't need to be replaced as general maintanance. They only need to be replaced if their is a problem with them. (According to Honda.)

On my 92, the fuel filter was on the firewall, on the passenger side if I remember correctly. It wasn't that hard to change. Space is kind of tight though.

the in tank filter is a sock attached to the fuel pump. To replace that j00 would either need to:
a) get a new pump + filter combo (ghey waste of money)
b) get a new pump + filter, hack off "sock" and swap out old sock for new one. (totally ghey waste of time and money)

I have yet to see a sock filter go bad in any honda EVER. I tell you what, if you demand to swap out the in-tank filtAr, paypal me $50 and I will send you magic fairy sock filter replenisher dust that will make it good as new.

Misa MEATSPORTS fuel setup is hardcore. I dont think the space shuttle even has as much fuel fl0w as that crazy TACO driving bastid proposes....
